__The Great American Mail Race__

The Great American Mail Race is a nation-wide letter writing campaign. All we need to do is write a response to the student whose letter we received. Additionally, we can send letters to wherever we want in the U.S. The letters should include info about the school, interests, and self in general. All you need is a zip code, city and, state!!!

The envelopes should be addressed as such: Eighth Grade English Teacher Town, State, Zip Code Postmaster: Please deliver to the nearest school with an eighth grade. The Great American Mail Race

If there is interest in sending a letter to another country, Mr. Pursel has a friend teaching in Athens, Greece. Students can compile one letter and it can be sent to Greece and we should receive a response (both in Greek and English).

The Great American Mail Race is a great way to boost morale among your students and to help them build connections across America. It is also a great way to get students excited about writing!!!
